First seen Jun 26, 2026 · Last updated Jun 26, 2026 · Updated 1 time

This study aims to identify human proteins that stick to hepatitis C virus particles in patient blood samples. By understanding which proteins the virus uses to survive and spread, researchers hope to find new targets for future treatments. Ten adults with chronic hepatitis C each provided two large blood samples for analysis.
